Answer to Question 1

Even though he is not leaving the law firm with any physical assets he has certainly gained experience with the firm in the form of human capital. He also has contacts with his previous clients. One factor that might impede his ability to use this asset would be if he signed a non-compete contract with his previous employer or otherwise promised not to solicit business from their clients for a certain period of time.

Answer to Question 2

B
